Panel Builder & Systems Integrator, a sibling publication, recently had the opportunity to chat with Melanie Adams, Regional Marketing Manager, Industrial Electrical Infrastructure at Panduit, to discuss these two different printers.
What was the goal behind providing a small mobile, entry level printer like the MP75? Was this developed from a recognized market demand or growth into new markets?
Panduit observed the need for a lower cost, entry level mobile printer with basic functionality.
What are the limitations of the MP75?
The MP75 includes the basic functions needed by industrial label users but does not include some of the more advanced options, such as connecting to a computer for printing from labeling software or an automatic cutter. The MP75 uses Panduit continuous MP label cassettes up to 0.75 inches wide.
At what point does ones needs require utilizing a more robust offering such as the MP200?
Users should consider the MP200 for printing applications that require wider labels, and more advanced printer features. The MP200 prints continuous label cassettes up to 1.0 inch wide and includes a fully automatic cutter that allows full or half cutting. The MP200 would be the printer of choice for industrial solutions and customers like contractors.
The printers are advertised as usable in various locations such as the jobsite. How durable are the printers for use in more rugged locations?
The MP75 and MP200 were both developed for industrial applications. The printers are designed for users across different industries who look for ruggedness and quality wherever they need to print. In general, both printers are durable enough for the rugged environments, but the MP200 is more rugged and has a more robust housing.
Has there been any feedback from users since the launch?
The feedback has been extremely positive. These printers have been quickly picked up by customers and we are very excited to continue to deliver identification solutions like our PXE™ Mobile Printers that help customers answer their labeling needs.
